Cured Of DRINKING.

IA young friend of mine was cured of an
Unsuitable thirst for liquor that had so pros
trated his system that he was unable to do any
business. He was entirely cured by the use
of Hop Bitters. It allayed all that burning
thirst; took away the appetite for liquor;
made his nerves steady; and he has remained
steady and sober man for more than two
years, and has no desire to return to his cups,
and know of number of others that have
been cured of drinking by it."-From lead

Improvements
Among the first orders issued by j. D. Laying,
the new president of the Decline. was that con-
structon trains be placed on all division of the
system and that the road bed should be put in
as perfect condition as possible. He has the
Pennsylvania ideas of railroading instilled into
him. and Will doubtless carry out such ideas on
this system, which means that there is still room
for improving the property physically. Con
structiOn trains were put in service yesterday on
i. 81 St L. division. On his recent inspection
trip the train ran slowly, and, in company with
General Manager Beach, president Laying ex-
amined every bridge, trestle and culvert of i'm

The officials of the Pennsylvania lines have
examined into the cause Of the accident to the
fast mail train at Dennson on Monday after

standing close by. became excited, and for the
moment thought the switch set wrong and
threw il over. letting the train in on to the side

has been discharged of course, but was. prior
to this accident considered one of their most re

Against the X. OF L.

Judge Barrett OF the supreme court OF
New York has decided against District
Assembly 81. X. OF J.. (Shoemakers), in q
suit against them for conspiracy. The
executive board Of the assembly had, by
repeated strikes and boycotts, compelled
Hanan & Co.. Of New York city, to dis
charge certain men who refused TO join
tho union. Judge Barrett holds that
pcaceable cooperation to maintain or ad-
vance wages is legal. including a strike,
where no violence Is attempted, but COM
binations Of individuals TO compel work.
ingmen to join the cooperative forces or
punish those who are inimical thereto are
not authorized by law. The facts in this
case show deliberate purpose to impov.
erish and crush citizens for no reason con-
nected with the rate OF wages. They al
so show acts injurious TO trade and tend
Ing to prevent by threats the exercise OF
lawful calling. The writs of habeas cor
pus and certiorari are therefore dismissed.
